"Haha...This carriage is very sturdy." Rood stood at the top of the carriage. When no one responded, Rood jumped off the carriage ready to flee.

"Hold." Lispen pointed his blade at Rood. "Do you realize whose carriage you just stepped on?"

"No,I do not. But I'm sorry." Rood bowed to get an innocent mood. "A Noble must be riding inside. It was an inevitable situation. I sincerely apologize for surprising you by jumping onto this carriage." With an innocent look and huge eyes Rood continued. "I'll make sure that something like this never happens again."

"U-uh. Yeah..." Lispen looked confused and embarrassed.

"Thank you. Now then..." Rood turned and walked away, increasing his pace at each passing second.

"Haha. He sure knows how to apologize." Keith called from behind. Keith,like Lispen was also serving the Artians. "Why would you point your sword at a kid like that?" Keith was chuckling.

"A kid? He fell from that height and landed safely. There's no way he's just a kid."

"Interesting." Lady Dayner called, exiting the carriage.

"He's strong. Such a smart looking child."

                                                                                           .....

Rood arrived at Opion minutes later. It was as busy as ever, and it took Rood quite a while to get to the receptionist who delivered him with his master's location. Rood marched to the reception room. He opened the door slowly, making sure not to get anyone alarmed.

"Master..." Rood calls. In the reception room were Kiel and Lady dayner, along with the guard he had just encountered. It gave Rood quite a shock that he slammed the door without uttering another word.

Kiel walks out the door in search of rood.

"Rood?" Kiel says. "What's wrong? I was looking for you."

"No. You have guests. I'll come back later."

"Guest? No,no. They're clients. You should be there too." Kiel grabs Rood's arm and pulls him into the reception room. "Come in." Rood sat next to Kiel, while Lady Dayner sat across from them, with Lispen and Keith standing behind her.

"Is this the child?" lady Dayner asks.

"Yes. he might not look it,but...He's one of opion's valuable members." Rood flinches at that statement and glares at Kiel.

"Is that so? He looks quite young. But as Opion's member, he must be an official magician,right?"

"Of course. He's just a rank 7 rookie that just became a magician." Kiel begins to smile. "He's outstanding for his age though."

Lady Dayner glances at Rood and smiles. "Nice to meet you again,child." She stops as she notices the confused look on Rood's face. "Ah. You haven't seen me before. I'm the owner of the carriage you fell on."

"Carriage? Fell on?" Kiel looks to Rood.

"There was a reason..." Rood says back.

"This must be fate too." Later Dayner says setting down her teacup. "Anyways. If it's this child, I can put my trust in him. Opion's master."

"Thank you for the compliment. Duchess."

"Then, let's start the story." With a serious face, Lady Dayner spoke softly. "My second son Isn't fitting in well at school." She looks up at Keith who produced a document with a Helios sign on the cover page."This is Helios' data student list. As well as a report about the current situation." Lady Dayner continues and brings her head down. "It's only been a month since he entered Helios academy. I don't know what could have happened in that time. But my child...for some reason...Is being called a monster."

"What? Who could be..?" Kiel anticipated

"He isn't the only child of a noble in school." Lady Dayner continued. "You must know that outsiders cannot interfere with what happens inside the school. But i can't take him out at this point. He's weak...and gets lonely easily. Poor child." Lady Dayner looks up at Kiel. "Since he was young,his brother took all the attention and love...and he grew up by himself. Even i could not pay much attention to him." Lady Dayner sighs heavily. "When i look back now, he has become a weak child. So weak that he can't even voice out his pain. I...no longer wish for him to get hurt. Our family's child, being treated with such distaste...is unforgivable." She looked to Rood. "My request is simple. Help...so that my child may enjoy a normal school life."

                                                                                                 .....

"Now. Explain! Everything from one to ten." Rood exclaimed.

"Explain what?" Kiel replied holding the list of Helios students.

"What do you mean what? You don't know? I'm talking about this absurd and ridiculous situation!"

"It's as you've heard. The duchess made a requests. And you'll fulfill it." Kiel says pointing at Rood.

"No...What kind of...?" Rood gives up. "The mission aside, how could you introduce me in this form? And what's up with the rank 7?"

"Well,it's not like i can tell her "This kid is actually the Black Magician" Can i?" Kiel smiles his usual smile. "It's already surprising that you're a rank 7 magician with that appearance."

"I never agreed to this!"

"Heheh. Anyway, Here's your acceptance permit." Kiel handed the paper to Rood. Within the paper listed Rood's name, age, ability type, and specialty. Then noticing the congratulation message at the bottom, Rood's face became sullen.

"You're kidding,right? This..."

"Rood. Listen to me..."

Rood slams the paper into Kiel's chest. Kiel only chuckles, which only annoys Rood. That usually meant there was no escape for Rood.

Rood sighs. "So. That duchess's son. I just have to help him, right?"

"Ye..yeah."Keil was surprised that Rood agreed so quickly. "I've told the duchess that you're a rank 7 magician. But the school doesn't know you're an official magician that has finished awakening."

"That means I can't be "Blow" Over there."

"Yeah. This mission is a break for the black magician Blow, and at the same time, a first mission to Rood Chrishi. 

                                                                                    .....

"Then did you bring an authorization certificate?" Ms. Borly Asks.

"Huh?" Ben asks. He had sneaked out of the house that early morning to send more letters. But it wasn't what he was expecting.

"If your sister is a student, you should have gotten one. But come back when you get one."

"I can't. My mom won't let me send the letters. Can't you just send it? I really want to see my sister." Ben protested.

"Sorry, but it's not something I can-"

"Here, the authorization ticket." Rood held up a form with the Helios sign printed on it.

"Brother Rood!" Ben called, surprised.

"Also, send my bags along with the letters." Rood continued, ruffling Ben's hair. "Ben. Looks like I can deliver your letters."

                                                                                              .....

Helios was an enormous school, mostly painted with white and gold. It was very much like a castle, with a colossal Gate at the entrance.

"...Shi. "Mr. Chrishi." Professor Baise Called. "Don't be so nervous."

"Huh?"

"The students all come from different backgrounds. It shouldn't be too hard to fit in." Professor Baise said adjusting his glasses. "Here, neither your family nor your age matters. What is most important here is talent." He now turns to look at Rood. "How about you, entrance exam first perfect scorer. Mr. Rood Chrishi."

"Well, If I can't do it after working hard, I just gotta quit."

Professor Baise chuckles lightly. "Haha. We always welcome talented people like you. Congratulations. Welcome to Helios."
